Student Financial Planning

Beginning the 2024-25 award year, Seminole State’s Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships is implementing Student Financial Planning (SFP).

SFP is a cloud-based financial aid system that provides students with increased visibility around their financial aid options and supports better-informed financial decisions. The system manages a student’s financial plan individually, automatically and in real-time. 

Your SFP portal will house all information related to your 2024-25 verification tasks needed for determining your financial aid eligibility. 

Students can log into the portal using their Seminole State credentials  and:

  • Check status of their FAFSA submission.
  • View a checklist of any necessary documents needed for verification.
  • Upload any required documents via the portal.

Student Financial Planning Portal Instructions

The first time you access SFP, you will be prompted to consent to conduct business electronically. 

The decision whether to do business electronically with the College is yours. When you select the "Accept & Continue" button, you consent to allow the College to conduct business electronically, including having communications provided or made available to you in electronic form and entering into Agreements and Transactions using electronic records and signatures. Your consent is valid until your access to the student portal expires.

  2. From My Student Work Center, select the Financial Aid tile.
  3. From the menu on the left, select “24-25 Verification Portal.”
  4. Carefully review all pending items in red on the homepage and any numbered notifications badges in the navigation bar.
